Originally posted by deeply satisfiedI'm not missing the point at all. I'd hazard a guess that most of the people who cried outrage at Xanthos don't actually care about people who deal with thoughts of suicide. Xanthos doesn't make a mockery of people who feel suicidal, he makes a mockery of the people who fell for the prank.
Actually Starrman - I think you are missing the point. You suggest that you have some concern for others with mental health problems yet you turn around and support a guy who makes a mockery of people feeling suicidal. Is this really the topic for people to "lighten up".
Is it allright if I told you that I was dying from cancer? Guess if it's true.
hey threads are cheap these days and I don't think they should be shrugged off .
If you told me you were dying of cancer and then you said you weren't, would I care? No, not in the slightest. Perhaps if I fell for the joke, I might berate myself for being that naive, but I'd probably just think it was mildly amusing and let it go.
If I told you my sister had clinical depression, I myself had had episodes of it in the past and my father had committed suicide, would you believe me?

Anyway loyalty allows the world to sanction many crimes in this world - starrman . I am pleased that you selectively care for those who stimulate your interest. Sadly that's how most of us feel for the continent of Africa......Just don't get me started.

I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

You lost me on the second bit, loyalty to Xanthos? You must be joking, he's a pr;ck and I tell him so daily.
